Underneath Infinity(Azurite thread)

[thepanda]

“When you… finished him?” Azurite blinks.

[Anastasia]

Turning to you fully now, "Yeah." Eudial says, going more serious on you again. "He damn near killed Usagi's adopted daughter and would have killed a few other people if we hadn't gotten them help right after the battle."

Turning away quietly to reach out to the door, "Zirae came after us with murderous intent. We merely protected ourselves." An angry scowl is on her face now, though you get the feeling it's not directed at you. "With what he did and with what he wanted to do, it was a mercy for all of us that he died."

[thepanda]

Azurite rests a hand on her shoulder comfortingly.

“I really have missed a lot, haven’t I? Well, self defense is self defense, I suppose, and-“ He pauses. “Wait, Tsukino-san has a daughter?”

[Anastasia]

"Yeah," Eudial says, not really trying to remove Azurite's hand.

God, why am I going on like this? Stop blabbering like a baby!

"It's a really long story," Eudial comments as she pushes the door open. Inside is a dark and small lab room, dusty and forgotten. A few tables, some beakers,a  burner, a ominous, metal machine in the corner...

"Hold on...I think it's in here somewhere," your compainion says, seperating to begin poking through the room.

[thepanda]

“So, um, what are we looking for down here, anyway?” Azurite asks, moving across the room. He opens his magic sense once more, hoping that whatever it is might give of an aura so he could leave this underground labyrinth sooner.

Hm. Maybe that machine in the corner…

[Anastasia]

* Hatbot --> "Thepanda rolls 2d6+4 and gets 15."

As Eudial messes around at one of the tables, that machine catches your eye. There is the faintest magic coming from it or near it, something...pleasant. Something you like. The machine itself reminds you of a vending machine sans a lit up front...

[thepanda]

Azurite, noting the pleasantness of the machine’s aura, moves toward it like a moth to a flame.

[Anastasia]

Eudial only glances up at you distantly, as she shuffles between some old glass beakers and some papers. "Careful, there's some really strange stuff back here."

As you reach the machine, it is a stripped down vending machine. Whatever purpose it may have had is unknown, but  you can sense something...whatever is giving off that faint aura is just behind it.

[thepanda]

“Oh yeah?” he calls back distractedly, pondering on how to get behind the thing. Grasping the edges he tries to walk it out, figuring that it should be fairly light if it’s stripped down.

[Anastasia]

It's a bit heavier than that, but not overly so. It's quite possible to inch it forward and away a bit. From this, you can just see a small, purplish thing on the floor. It's...perhaps the size of a golf ball, and lined strangely. It's the source of the magical energy you feel, weak even this close to it.

"Yeah, G-some people stored all sorts of things down here." Eudial calls, as you catch sight of it.

[thepanda]

Azurite… reaches… for the small, purple object. “What’s this thing?”

[Anastasia]

It's within grabbing distance. It's hard, like a shell, and vaguely warm in your hand. The soft purple is almost white, yet still notably not white.  

Eudial glances over, staring a moment. Her glasses fall down her face a bit as she does so...

"The hell?" she blinks, honestly surprised, before she freaks out. "Azurite! Drop that and get away from it! NOW!" she shouts, grabbing a nearby test tube.

[thepanda]

“Huh? What?” Azurite drops it in confusion and takes a step back. “What’d I do?”

[Anastasia]

"Just get away," Eudial grunts, rushing over quickly! Yet as you do so, the egg rises, glowing softly!

"Shit!" Eudial curses, instead going for you and grabbing your hand. "It's waking up!" Indeed, it's rising off the floor, starting to head to the old vending machine...

There are Daimon eggs left? I thought Rei and everyone got them all...And if one is still around....fuck!

[thepanda]

“What is it?” Azurite follows Eudial’s lead, getting the hell out of the way as the tiny purple thing begins floating around. No, this was probably not a ‘good thing’.
